Oil-free and gluten-free Vegetable Rice rawa upma
Vegetable upma is a popular breakfast item in the south of India. However, the rawa used is made from byproducts of wheat also called sooji.

The proportion of water used for this is perfect making the consistency likeable even to a die-hard sooji upma fan. My husband is one such fan and this isperfected after various trials and errors to obtain his approval.
